Hi Arlen Yes, I'm sorry that this fix been more complicated to handle than first anticipated. The trouble is that that this was never going to be a quick and easy change, because it involves introducing a new mechanism to TW. Whenever that happens there has to be some care to ensure that we've arrived at the minimum complexity and maximum flexibility. In other words, unlike some pull requests, this has turned into a design/architecture activity, not just coding and implementation.
As I mentioned on the hangout last week, the majority of pull requests to TW5 are merged swiftly; it's just bad luck that we've ended up working on one that wasn't so simple. (Also, while this pull request has been going on I've been somewhat preoccupied with the other big changes in 5.0.9/10). Anyhow, as ever, I'm very grateful to you for taking the trouble to get involved, and much appreciate your contribution. Best wishes Jeremy.
